Leicester boss Eriksson: I knew hard-headed Hargreaves would get back at Man City

Leicester City boss Sven Goran Eriksson is delighted seeing Owen Hargreaves making his comeback at Manchester City.

Eriksson tried to sign the former Manchester United midfielder before City stepped in.

He told The Sun: "I really hope he can get back with England. When he signed for Manchester United, he was a great player.

"As a youngster, technically he was not that good. But I know that at Bayern Munich he would be working on that every afternoon.

"He finished up at Bayern taking all the free-kicks and corners. For a man not technically the best, that shows a hard head."
